I can't figure out if they are for real or a joke. I'll like them a whole lot more if they are a joke.

upon venturing out of my bedroom in my post-hungover state to bake up some 2/$1.00 burrito's 10 minutes ago, some odd sounds are eminating from my stereo system while roomie is cleaning the apartment. "what's this?" I ask.

I disagree.

I like the Darkness, but it's never gonna be more than a one album attempt at ironic rock.

And at their Xmas single.

it's almost poetry:



Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my hart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everything is A.OK!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my hart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my hart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

OMG I can't even imagine.

I *love* the darkness. If they could successfully make a second album I'd be very very very happy. I don't know if there will be a recurring market for ironic 1970s hair band throwbacks, though.

I loathe the darkness with a deep and fiery loathing. Two (2) of my brothers honestly like them - nothing has annoyed me so much since No Program Data.

I think they'll fade back into relative obscurity soon enough. Nothing worth getting all riled up about...

i bought the cd...it was only $8 at best buy

i like them because they're having fun and they have great guitar riffs, imho. and it's always nice to see a skinny guy in a jump suit.

but, i think they're song givin' it up is the worst. i don't mind that it's a song about smack, but it's just...horrible.
just before i go to sleep
there's a redezvous i keep
and my darling till we do
you are always in my heart

Don't think a 2nd album will really work, unless they really are genii.

Seen them twice LIVE
